Hi everyone!
So my daughters mother uses a POS Samsung J1-6 (Samsung J1 SM-J120W), that she refuses to upgrade. Recently, she forgot her password for the phone. I tried to do a factory reset, but now it gives the error:
"An unauthorized attempt has been made to reset your device to factory default settiings. Connect to a Wi-Fi or mobile network to verify your identity."
Is there any way to reset the phone to stock without the password? Or is this phone heading for the recycle bin?
Thanks!

hi experts. i m facing a problem on my phone which i cant activate my phone. my id works i checked it and when i do it on the phone it says Processing failed and now i m stuck on the activation screen. and my csc is muilti and i was using the device before the reset and then i was facing lags and some issue i reset the device now i m facing the activation problem how can i fix that.
Same thing!
I'm facing the same issue. I've tried flashing a new ROM and it seems that it's all blocked by the reactivation lock from Samsung. I've called customer service and they tell me i have to take my phone to a Samsung service center that is 300 miles away. Even then, I think they need proof of purchase, which i got off of Ebay without any IMEI on the receipt...So, i'm hoping someone knows how it can be fixed on here as well.
In the download screen, it says reactivation lock is enabled? What error message do you get when you try to flash a stock rom with Odin? The phone won't boot into any rom?
Hi I have my friends Galaxy S5 Neo and he done a factory reset and its ended up now showing Unauthorised Reset I have reflashed the latest software 6.0.1 with odin3 v3.13 with success but after this its still showing the Unauthorised Reset then I reflashed it with 5.1.1 with success and is still the same showing the Unauthorised Reset when it reboots and looks for the internet to get the gmail or Samsung info but says no internet connection, even though I have added my wireless key into the wifi network setting which showed connected
Do I need the PDA or the CSC firmware version for this phone
really grateful for any advise to get this back up and running for him
many thanks in advance
Once you flashed the firmware via odin did you go to recovery mode and perform a data wipe/factory reset?
guys , I'm at i don't know what the @%#%$ to do. I just bought this phone online and it is for locked . I am having the same issue, I factory reset and everything , but when it goes to connect to wifi or data. It never does it just keeps spinning and spinning never connects. Plz help. The old owner has given me his email and password to get past the FRP but I can not due to the fact I can't get past the connection part
I had this as well. I bought an S5 (not Neo) from eBay with that reported message (which the seller acknowledged up front)
Several fixes were available on YouTube, Google, and the rest. They all supposedly work on the principle of spoofing the phone to get past the lack of a browser, from which you can correct things.
None of those worked for me.
In the end, I had to prepare a USB stick with some recovery sofware on and boot the phone from that, which runs a custom APK to get you back to normal.
I know this is an old thread, but if you want, I'll try and find the information on the custom App on a stick.
PS. You will need a USBOTG cable, to be able to plug in the usb stick (or one with dual ports).

I recently purchased a used A20 (SM-S205DL) the previous owner's child locked the device and forgot the pin. I was told it didnt have FRP activated so i mistakenly hard reset it without checking odin mode first. Now i have no way to set up the device or enable usb debugging. I have firmware and some basic knowledge of flashing via odin. Although i have only used it to unbrick a device roughly 5 years ago. How can i either remove FRP via odin mode or download mode without usb debugging turned on. I have no preference on how to gain access to the device. If frp cannot be removed could the device be completely wiped and made into a basic Linux device? I have no preference on what is done i only want to have some use out of it
Factory Reset Protection exists to prevent the use of stolen devices. Unfortunately, this can become rather inconvenient in other circumstances where for some reason the Google account the device was locked on isn't available.
While FRP unlock services exist, we here on XDA tend to err on the side of caution due to the potential for criminal activity.
Try flashing vbmeta.img (UNLOCK BOOTLOADER)
Try this:
This device was reset. To continue, sign in with a google account that was previously synced on thos device.

Hey!
In the company that I work an ex-collaborator left the Samsung Galaxy A20e he was using professionally. During the time he used it, he probably activated FRP, now we want to unlock the phone to give to another collaborator. I've tried to do factory reset at first when I didn't know about FRP.
Now I'm seeing some tutorials that says that we can remove the FRP lock, but I need USB debugging and I can't access the system to activate it.
Is there something I can do?
Same problem as here:

Hello everyone.
My A510F device was bricked many years ago and the shop "service" that time said to me that the processor is "defective" - no chance to restore the device. Therfore it was sleeping in the shelf. Now - with a little bit more knowledge - I tried to re-animate the device. And I realized that the processor neither is dead...
After plugging the device to power the error screen (https://www.blogtechtips.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/An-error.jpg) occured.
The SMART SWITCH software did not help because there is no backup of that device existing anymore.
So therefore I unbricked it with Hagards "Frp HiJacker". Now the device is starting normally again - but needing the former google account verification.
FRP-removing by Hagards software failed. As well failed with SamFW.com FRP tool.
And restarting after factory reset the device statement occured that the reset was "not authorized" - so FRP failed.
And the normal Google verifying way does not work as well because the former account does not exist anymore for long time, as well as not the phone number anymore is existing. Restoring the google account by google support failed also - "not possible anymore" because cancelling account is "too long ago".
So I still need to bypass the Google Account verifivation for this device. And I do not really like to pay for FRP removing services like 4uKey & Co. because needing it for one device only.
Therefore my question:
So is there any other possibility for FRP removing in device download mode by using ODIN software?
Is there any flashing file especially for FRP removing?
Device details:
Samsung Galaxy A5 2016 [A510F]
Model SM-A510FZKADBT
CRC code DBT
Android 7
Accu battery reloaded 100% (...of course...)
The device is NOT rooted and as well I sadly have no access to any "normal" Android setting possibilities at the device. Therefore adjusting "OEM Unlock" or "USB debugging" is not possible.

I know it - but did not try this. Because it is another tool needing payment (like 4uKey & Co.) - but not really worth for unlocking "only" one device ...
Is it possible to ENABLE USB DEBUGGING from any external way? Because I'm not able to come into internal settings menue ...
